If it was your water tank nan you would notice it on your interior walls. Dont worry about it. Worth getting someone in though to check your gutters.

Well im no expert on these things, but if the pipe that is dripping water is connected to your water tank, then maybe that is why it is there, as a precaution. Like I said though, if it is serious, it will affect your walls as you will see the water leaking onto them. It doesnt sound serious to me though. If a pipe is leading the water to the outside of your house then everything would appear to me to be working as it should be.

Sabre wrote:I've been out some days in deep Spain and I watched something that I wouldn't expect in deep Spain.

There I was with the missus enjoying the smell of plumb and peach trees when I saw two military chopters. I was shocked because they were flying low, and because they were modern attacking chopters and I didn't know Spain had of those :D

The next day I learned in the papers that Brittish chopters were doing joint training with Spanish air force to improve technical interoperation between different ally countries and that part of La Rioja was ideal for that because it had few interferences (sorry the military concepts are hard to translate).

The thing is that besides feeling curiosity and a bit of awe to those machines, I also have a question for guys who know better than me military stuff. I thought for some reason tjat every chopter had to have a sign like this to know where they belong

and those chopters were flying low enough to spot that they didn't have any. Was I wrong about the need to bring one of those signs? or perhaps they don't bring it because they're in a foreign country or something? Not that's important but I'm curious!

It was nice to watch them fly, but it scares a bit the notion of the harm those thingies can do when they are not friendly.

Front line aircraft use "low visibility" markings Sabre.

Like this one.

You need a new washer on the ballcock on your water tank Nanny. As an emergency measure, just GENTLY bend the arm on the ballcock down a bit (that will probably stop the water). Then when it is convenient get your husband to fit a new washer.
